David Ortiz was elected to the Hall of Fame on his first ballot last night, garnering 77.2% of the vote. I will have a bigger post about this later on, but just wanted to comment. I am absolutely thrilled about this. Ortiz was one of the most dynamic Red Sox players that I have seen and he has so many great moments with the Red Sox. He was a part of three World Championship teams and was a terrific postseason hitter. On top of that, he hit more home runs than any Red Sox hitter not named Ted Williams. I may have to consider a trip to Cooperstown this summer.
Well deserved!
